The Theme Song for the African
Cup of Nations tournament which was held in South Africa this year, introduced D’banj to a much wider African audience and stage. I was greatly
ecstatic at this and wondered how it was going to sound.
Now even though Shakira and K’naan theme
songs were for the World cup (a larger and more global audience), both songs had
videos that resonate around football and the tournament, a path I believe dbanj
should have towed, especially since the
tournament had ended and we won, there
must have been tonnes of footage from the team he could have gotten instead of the use of the same clip over and over again
and even if he didn’t have access to that footage, he could have made an
arrangement with the Super Eagles and had a much cooler/inspiring video that
just him singing into several mics.
I wasn’t totally sold on his song
especially because there was just that something, that made it sound a lot like
Katy Perry’s “Fire Work!” but he did try, cause this isn’t what we are use to
from dbanj anyway.
So what y’all think?
